Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNQ-T) is viewed positively by experts for its strong management, solid balance sheet, and ability to generate cash flow even at low oil prices. Many analysts praise CNQ's long-term operational efficiency, citing a robust dividend history and the promise of sustained cash returns to shareholders through dividends and buybacks. While some experts caution about the impact of fluctuating oil prices on the stock's performance, many believe it remains a core holding in energy portfolios due to its low-cost production and diversified asset base. The consensus suggests that while the oil market faces challenges, CNQ is well-positioned to weather these conditions and benefit from any eventual recovery in oil prices.

Valuation

BUY

Technically, it is acting very well. Has a lot of exposure to oil sands. You could own this for a couple of years if your view is oil is working its way higher.

COMMENT

Probably has the best oil leverage. Recognized by international investors as a "go to" name.

TOP PICK

Strategy: Buy this ($44.13?) and 1) Sell Aug $46 Calls @ $9.10 2) Sell Aug $46 Puts @ $10.70 for a net cost of $24.33. For selling the Call option you agree to sell the shares for $46. For selling the Put options you agree to buy more shares at $46. Only one of those options will have any value in August.If stock is above $46 your return is $46 divided by your net cost of $24.33 giving an 81% return.If stock is below $46, you have to buy another block of shares at $46. The $46 plus the $24.33 net cost, your average cost is $34.23, which is a very good investment.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 30/07. Down 40%.) Horizon project should hit 75% of production capacity of 77,000 barrels next year. Execution risks are very low. Looking for 25% growth per share next year. Strong balance sheet.

COMMENT

Likes this one because it has some profit growth right now. His preference would be Imperial Oil (IMO-T), Canadian Oil Sands (COS.UN-T), Nexen (NXY-T) and Husky (HSE-T). However, ROE levels are about to erode.

TOP PICK

A lot of the senior oil companies in Canada have been crushed. Trading around 4X next year's cash flow. The Horizon oil sands play, which has been a big cap X drag, is just about done. This will add a lot of cash flow.

COMMENT

Great trading fundamentals and great quality characteristics. Market direction can still impact you. You could buy this, but he would Short something else like Niko (NKO-T) as a pairs trade.

DON'T BUY

Below its 50-day moving average of about $55 and the 200-day moving average of $76. Has to make a base.

DON'T BUY

Oil prices have continued to move lower and he would stay on the sidelines.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Energy prices will rebound. This one is at a ridiculous valuation.

BUY

Lots of reserve life. For energy plays, he prefers royalty trusts so that he can get a big income stream and sit on yield. If you are positive on energy prices going forward, this is very reasonable right now.

TOP PICK

Change in the Alberta royalty fees significantly benefits this company. Have debt because they just built their oil sands. It will be a low cost producer so they will be on top of their debt very quickly.

TOP PICK

A leading Canadian oil/gas producers. International footprint. Relatively low operating costs. Just released Q3 results and it is in good shape to produce from its oil sands in 09.

COMMENT

Likes this company. About a third light oil, a third natural gas and a third heavy oil. Getting a huge cash flow increase with the Horizon project. Scaling this project down because of increasing costs and declining crude prices.

DON'T BUY

Not a bad investment but his view is to stay away from low yield stocks. There is still some uncertainty about oils.
